Game Thread PLAYOFFS - ROUND 2, GAME 1: Blazers @ Warriors - 5/1/16, Sunday, 12:30 (PDT), ABC

[Strenuus]

Stotts: It's a long game and a long series.

Translation: Holy fuck.

 

[KingSpeed]

Aminu our best player today and everyone is slamming him, why?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Starting to show some life. Too bad it's double digits.

 

[Strenuus]

We can't guard them.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I've counted 7 moving picks so far

 

[KingSpeed]

Good block, Aminu

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm trying hard not to hate Golden State because I need them to beat San Antonio.

 

[julius]

I'm super happy we made it this far so I'm not even mad. We are way over matched and are playing for experience at this point. No way we win this. Sorry, KingSpeed.

100% agreed. I expect this to end in 4 or 5 games, and be 4 blowout losses and the 1 win Portland (might) get would be barely. Almost out of pity.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Davis doin' work!

 

[KingSpeed]

See guys? We're fine.

 

[LuckyShot]

I've counted 7 moving picks so far

They do it almost every screen. It has to be coached that way. They set screens like offensive linemen block in football.

If I was Terry, I would implement a "junk punch" strategy to counter moving screens. If they do a moving screen, I have my guy punch them in the junk. Make them earn those moving screens.

We already won. I'm good this year.

 

[BonesJones]

DID THEY JUST CALL A MOVING SCREEN ON THE WARRIORS?!?!

 

[LuckyShot]

Finally stopped pissing down our legs on offense.

We need Chris Paul and his cast

 

[Strenuus]

Monty doing gods work, calling an illegial pick.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Anyone catch that? "Last year this was a team that had Wesley Matthews, Robin Lopez, Nick Batum and Steve Blake".

Lol... it's like LMA has been erased from our history all across the board.

 

[KingSpeed]

You guys overreact to one quarter.

 

[Jade Falcon]

This. I have to like them out of courtesy to my father. And I HATE LaBitch Aldridge.

lol that was hilarious

 

[LuckyShot]

DID THEY JUST CALL A MOVING SCREEN ON THE WARRIORS?!?!

Token call. It was pretty weak by their standards. Speights just moving a little and putting his forearms into the defender. They do it every possession.

Lead with a knee to the junk.

Who?

If it was Hubie that said it, it's probably just because there's a lot of stuff that's been erased from his memory.

 

[Trackjack]

I see a little fire in our guys.

 

[BBert]

This is the rope-a-dope strategy, the Warriors are going to tire themselves out.

I'm hoping for tendinitis in their shooting arms.

 

[julius]

You guys overreact to one quarter.

Shit, we overreact to everything.

 

[Strenuus]

Shit, we overreact to everything.

BULLSHIT BRO! BULLSHIT!

 

[LuckyShot]

We have no problems getting to the basket in this series. We just have to defend and not let them get all these offensive rebounds. They have 7 already.
